THE SPEAKER ILL.

MIR. Chaplin, in attacking Cony beare
in the House of Commons tonight asked
indirectly at Mr.. Gladstone. who since
Saturday has been in n condition of
mental excitement over the application
of the closure. Mr.. Gladstone denies
having blamed the Speaker and insists
that the real offender was Mr. Smith for
refusing discourteously the request to
continue the debate another day.
After to-night's row the Speaker was
obliged To retire ON account of illness,
and il then became known that the prob
able cause of his readiness to assent to
the closure on Saturday was the fact
that he was suffering acute pain from
varicose veins in his legs.
Lord Salisbury and other members of
the Cabinet dined at the Speakers house
Saturday evening, but the host was alb
sent, Mrs. Peel explaining that he was
i'll. Medical authorities attribute Mr..
Peels condition to the heightened sit
tings Of the House. 1t is thought that, as
a result of the incident. the Government
will not dare to hurry the second read
ing of the Coercion bill. An attempt to
crush debate would undoubtedly pro-
duce wild eommotion throughout the

Tomorrow or next day the Street

of the city, but that they will go out on

where the taxpayers receive but little re-
turn for the money paid in. Down on
Fulton, out on Reservoir street, North
Thirteenth street, South Jefferson street,
and some others are no better than coun-
try roads. -,
Church Hill avenue is mud puddle,
and in the suburbs no one but an expert
land agent or the county surveyor can
tell where the city ends and the county
begins, as there is no difference in the
condition of the streets and roads.
The Street Committee have hard task,
and no one wishes to find fault with them;
but it is hoped that the next budget will
contain some appropriations for sections
that never received any of the public
